You can't blame Bogut that everyone else on defense slacks and expects his to take care of everything when he's on the floor. That's not fair.

I'm not sure if I'm blaming him. I don't really know what it is, but I think the players give more effort on defense when he's not playing. This may be a dumbass problem to have, but I think with Bogut out, suddenly the team becomes the underdog with a chip on it's shoulders. With Bogut on the floor, we become favorites and lack a lot of edge on the defensive side. That's the only thing that I can think of so far.

I need to stop multitasking and when I watch the game. I think I'd have a better opinion on it if I did.

Truth is Bogut is not at full health and he has also mentioned it, his foot speed is still lack, and the fluidity is not all the way there yet, hope it does come back.

As far as fixing the defense, against the Spurs they went away from the zone and played majority man, including Klay on Parker which I found interesting. It worked Klay took to the challenge although he did get lost in some screens overall he was attentive and was on Parker majority of the game.

Brings me to my next point, I saw a team playing active man to man defense, meaning hands out, feet planted, on a stance, players glueing to their as it should be. Plus we had good minutes from Beans who was real active and aggressive. We played the spurs real good on the defensive end, we need to continue this active man defense, and fix getting lost through screens, and attentiveness (Que to Barnes on the play he got burnt by Ginobli for the initial tie.

Totally, I'm not suggest "you're" blaming him... I was sorta using "you" as a non-specific article. And I agree with your points, I just think it's psychotic of the team to play so much worse on defense when Bogut's on the floor. Say what you want about his mobility or lack of foot speed thus far, the dude is still good blood on D and for some reason, guys like Lee, Barnes, and (god forbid the backlash for me even suggesting this, but) Klay Thompson are all coasting when Bogut's there to clean up. It's not fair to him.

This team flat out sucks right now. Every freaking game is a carbon copy of the other: fall behind 10 to 15 points in the first quarter, spend the next 2 1/2 quarters playing catch up, take the lead, run out of steam, lose by 4 to 6 points, rinse and repeat.

This is a coaching problem and Jackson needs get is crap in gear...The Warriors are only 4 games ahead of the Lakers now, for crying out loud.

I kind of predicted everyone freaking out early February. I said this is our tough part of the schedule. And I was right when we would struggle. Lakers are four behind and they have to do their toughest part of the schedule and our schedule is cake from March 6th on.

Coach Jax needs to get back on his game...
